What Causes Rapid Heart Rate Followed By Coughing While Standing?
Question: When I stand up I feel my heart racing and I start coughing alot
Brief Answer:
Should refer to ER, if your heart still racing
Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir,
If it continues to race, you should go to ER and perform an ECG, most probably it is an arrhythmia.
If your heart rate is normal now, then nothing to worry, you just need a regular visit to cardiologist, perform an ECG and holter monitoring, which is an examination, when 24 hour ECG is recorded.

Wishing you good health
